THE KEY TO WESTERN COMMERCE.

If the DispatcA had given the Rich.
mond TIMES a prayerful and careful pc
rusal every day, as it was advised to do,it
would not have made that blunder about
the Nicaraguan canal, and would have
seen the three schemes fully discussed
months ago.
We showed that the failure Of the Pana-
ma canal, which was inevitable some
months ago, and the death Of Captain
Eads about the same time, must ineyita-
bly, result in advancing the interests Of
the Nicaraguan route, which, after all, has
al ,ays been, and is now, the only practi-
cable one.
The stock Of the company went up 500
per cent. in very short time, owing TO
the cessation OF the work on the De
Lesseps canal and the tact that it was
known that with the death of Eads the

"sINEws OF WAR"

All politicians know what the phrase
means that constitutes one Of the princi-
pie elements Of political campaigning
You cannot get a party into good
form without having the general and local
headquarters established the deputy
chiefs appointed, the documents printed,
and the expenses Of the speakers paid.
We do not use the term in any sense
of corrupt dealing, but simply as an
indispensable factor, and we call at
tention to the Democratic leaders for the
necessity of the support of the business in
terests. Mercantile honor is the motive
power and creative power Of human affairs
in this business age of ours, and unless a
party is posted on honest principles, 1t IS
sure to be frozen out by the solid element.
Besides the first demand for a sound
platform is the second one for such a
platform as will secure what is called in
the North the intelligence and character
of the community and the country
generally.
Richmond is accustomed to contribute
most generously to the aid Of the Demo
cratic party whenever the flag is put in
the field, and she has never failed to
answer the call on her
But we warn the politicians not to rely
on the support of Richmond and her
merchants if the party is handed over TO
regulators and boycOtters on any plat
form adopted that fails to take positive
stand The time is past when the cry Of
"wolf" will scare anybody. The Malone
wolf may be put up to drown the cry for
reform, but the people know that the
Administration at Washington is no
longer in the hands of the Malone COM
bination; and when vital questions Of
right and freedom are at stake they will
not tolerate this Mahoneism in the Dem
ocratic party any more than they did in
the Republican party.
If we are to declare for notification Of
law and boycotting let us hear it boldly
spoken out and without evasion and
trickery.
We believe that the manhood of Nir-
ginia will not any longer be led by the
nose and beguiled into mock heroics
about States rights or bullied with
threats of boycotting. If you boycott
people for using coupons under the
decree of the Federal law you had just
as well lay any merchant in the State
under the ban of reign of terror, and
grant the high privilege of boycotting to
anybody for anything provided they
help to boycott the coupon.

The United States engineers long ago
surveyed all these routes carefully, ana
reported that the Panama route was an
impossibilty, owing 20 The difficulty
of establishing the summit level, and to the
immense difficulty and expense OF cutting

Shagres river pours its torrent subject to

Just before the death Of Disraeii 1t was
pointed out in some Of the American and
English papers that the great Premier 3
design was TO seize the isthmus connect
ing the two American continents, and, by
making the inter oceanic waterway, hold
the kew of the western world, just as the
Suez canal gave him the important mill
,arv and mercantile point in the East.
At this startling intelligence there were
many men in Congress quick enough
to suggest the necessity Of frustrating
this stroke of statecraft on thepart Of the
great Englishman.
It was clear that if the United States
held that waterway it not only blocked
the far reaching policy Of England, but
put Mexico within our grasp as rational
result without the trouble of war, for
one Of the Central American States
would in the natural way of American
settlement have soon become a State Of
our Union
But these potent considerations were
over-weighed by that powerful element
sometimes called the legislative "Third
Estate" and Familiarity known as the
lobby.
De Lesseps having cotton control OF
the only other water route, Captain Eads
invented the fantastic model for canal
By rail, put the working model up in
the Capitol, and gave the grand boom
In the meantime the Nicaragua route
was in the hands of Admiral Ammen,
Captain Menocal, and other gentlemen
who had the confidence of the Nicaragua
Government and of American capitalists
also. It was only fight between merit
and the lobby
At last in the logical development of
things the two manufactured booms be-
gan TO collapse. and wise men recogniz-
ing the necessity of ship canal in the
hands of the United States perceived that
the Nicaraguan route was the only prac-
ticable one, and that it could DE made
for one-ffth of the cost of the others
which. in truth, could not have amy eXis.
tence except in the bold speculative i'm
aginations Of De Lesscps and tads.
Having pointed ont the msurmount-
able obstacles in the Panama route and
simply cited the patent absurdity of
carrying ships on a railroad it remains
only to state that the NicaraguaCompanY
proposes to use the lake as a natural
summit level, cut a ship canal Fifteen
miles through a pass IN the mountains
to the Pacific, and on the east side use
the San Juan river, that with am easy
system Of improvcmcntwill be nayisable
